Germany (Lonely Planet, 6th Edition) - Andrea Schulte-Peevers [714]
DANIEL ROBINSON
Special thanks to Agnetha Weidler (Schlitz, Hesse), Brigitte Durst (Stuttgart), Cheri Mersey (Frankfurt), Claudia Kuhnen (Trier), Esther Riepert (Kassel), Eugen Hahn (Jazzkeller, Frankfurt), Dr Katerina Wolf (Saarlandmuseum, Saarbrücken), Hubert and Karin Braun (Lauterbach, Hesse), Jim Sunthimer (Boppard), Leonard Hill (Darmstadt), M Brensing (Alte Synagoge, Worms), Michael Congdon (Wiesbaden), Stephan Olk (Radstation, Trier) and Ute Goerg (Deutsches Edelsteinmuseum, Idar-Oberstein) for their enthusiasm and generosity with their time. Michael Benz and Kirstin Göring (Frankfurt) were the most generous of hosts.
As usual, it was a pleasure working with my consummately professional LP colleagues Caroline Sieg, this volume’s commissioning editor, and Andrea Schulte-Peevers, its coordinating author.
What can I say about my wife’s support and forbearance, both while I was nine time zones away and during the long write-up nights, except ‘elef todot, Chell!’
